Character history

Michaela Carapadis is a feminist author who wrote a book, which covered the "horrors" of man, officially titled Being and Seeing, From Freud to the Building Sites, a Woman's Journey into the Male Psyche. While being interviewed it is implied Michaela takes on a manly appearance. When Amy opens the phones for call-ins a female listener states how Michaela changed her life. She goes further to say she dislikes feminism, and that it is wrong to hate men or anyone else just because they're different. Before the caller hangs up she says that Michaela is an appalling academic and as intellectual as a hemorrhoid.

Trivia

Her extremist feminism is thought to be a reference to Andrea Dworkin, a radical feminist with similar views.
